Berkshire Hathaway is getting too big to grow the way it used to grow but it has some long term advantages and is good for high income individuals to hold long term because it provides growth without dividends that force you to pay taxes. You decide when you want to pay taxes--when you sell--and it is all capital gain and deferred. In my case I will sell my shares when I retire since they won't yield the income I am looking for. But in the meantime they are fairly steady growth.
